This invention relates to a jointwhich in particular 13 intended for use n coupling 1 for divided axles used in certain kind of motor vehicles.

In theocconrpenying drawing: Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through 21 joint according to our invention. Fig. 2 is and Fig. 3 is a'front view-of the joint. Fig. 4 is a side. View of the joint with ports of the socket member and cap broken away; Fig. 5is a perspective View of the ball member,

and Fig. 6 1s mpcrspective view of the cap 1 with a. part, broken away.

The joint consists of a ball a. secured to or forming part of one of the shafts to be conpied together, such as b. The ball is provided with n trm'isverse perforation at right 3 e. detail 'view I angles to the shaft b, in which perforation is i inserted a key a which terminates in two proecting tenons c diz'unetriczily opposite one another. The ball (L surrounded by ii (Z provided with tour orifices or inortises e. of similar shape, disposed radially relatively to the center of the cup and at an angle of 90 to one :mother. c of the keyc ihe. tcnons 5 project through two of the ori- 'lices wand into the remaining two orifices 1 project two blocks which ore. secured at opposite points to a socket-memher g and at right angles to the key 0.

Having described our invention, what we claim it. new is: r

1. lo o joint, the combination of a socket iember. it spherical cop arranged within the socket member and having four radial orifices therein, a. bull member arranged within the cup, and a pair of oppositely irrraiwed blocks extending inwardly from the soc ct member and into two of the orifices in the cap, said ball member having 2*. pair of oppo- 7o sitely arr-ringed tonons extending outwardly from the boll member and. into the other two orilices in the carp.

In It joint, the combirmtion of a socket member having on inner spherical surface, at spherical cnp loosely arranged within the socket member and boxing two pair oi radial ori'tiees therein, :1 ball member arranged within the ('zip, and n pou' ol oppositely ar- 'lhe fore oin s )ceiiiention si ned at Paris 0 h h h Franco this twenty-lmirth day of Miiy, 1905.
